*LOOK* I got may cake and can eat it to! New K7 Exhaust!!!

Ok so I have been on the fence about what to do with my Exhaust. he Jardine is way to load for me and am just sick of it so I started looking again into pipes. I love the duals so I started to look at like Yoshimura, Two Bros, Arrow, Leo Vince and Growlers. I love the look of the Yoshimura the most but hate the fact that it bolts onto the cat. The cat has to be holding back power. So I saw that Arrow had a connector pipe the bolted to the stock header and removes the cat and had the same outlets that the cat has so the slip-ons should fit. So I got more into it..... This is what I came up with!!

Looks awesome!

How much of a bitch is it to get the fairings off/on?

(Haven't taken them off my K6 before)

I'm thinking about doing my case covers tomorrow.
 
lol...i posted a thread w. the same question about if anyone had done this setup about two weeks ago or so...everyone looked at me crazy and said it wouldn't work..lol....how do you like it"?

Yeah? Well how hard are they to put back on?
:D

Great idea! Very ingenious! Do a dyno run now!
 
nice work, what is with the temp sensor in the pipes?? is that part of the stock set up?
i was looking at 50,000yen for one for the data logger that i still havent got around to connecting.....

Damn dude that looks sweet. Oh and BTW I REALLY like those rear hangars and pegs!:punk munchie has been mad at me this whole weekend since WE can't go ride. :hammer I told her it'll be worth it in the end. Sh!t I even called the dealer to see if they had a set of passenger pegs/hangars in stock that I could buy just to take her riding. That setup looks good man. how much did that mid pipe setup set you back?

So the set up was really easy to install but a bitch to take the stock on off. Ant did his and said the radiator didn't need to come out but the oil cooler did. He was right. There was only one bolt that took me 20 min to get out but better then draining the coolant and removing the radiator.

The whole thing took me just over 2 hours. I saw this set up about 3 weeks ago and was going to go for just the connector pipe but decided on the full header.

I will say I wish I was able to Dyno it before because it feel like its got more power. I put the Yoshi's on Thur and rode with them on the cat to see how I liked while I waited for the header and at first I was like shit this sound like the stock pipes. So I took the silencers out, (WHAT A BITCH) and it sounded ok but nothing real great. I started sounding better as I rode but man.... When I started that thing with the header on I stepped back and almost cried. I sound so flippin sweet!

I will post up a sound clip and video later. For any one with the Yoshi system get this header!!!!!

I got the Yoshi's for $780 shipped and the header $610 shipped.

Thats the O2 sensor.
 
Yeah, I'm interested in what kinda' gains you got. I didn't know Arrow sold the header and mid-pipes seperate! Are those all Ti or stainless? Nice set-up for sure though! I'm going with duals soon, but haven't decided yet. LeoV Corsa is $3,850 Canadian (retail) where I live...and that shit is WAY to pricey.
 
Very nice OTT :thumbup

I am surprised the guys who keep complaining about loosing the little faux panel bolted to the cat when going to a full system haven't chimed in that you found the solution to their woo's.

The bike is shapring up great!
